Sometimes TV shows are more relatable than most of us would like to admit. My favorite show to relate to life is Parks and Recreation because when are the quotes not relatable? Here are a few times Parks and Rec quotes perfectly tie in to life as a college student.

1. When everyone starts complaining about stupid drama and you just want to scream at them

2. When you ask a professor to round up your grade and they reply something like this

3. When the one person in your class that's never right, but always thinks they are, says they're really good in school

4. When your friends know you finally have money and all the advice they give you is

5. When you try to convince your friends that you're totally okay with being alone

6. When you try to drag your friends to the gym with you so you're not alone, and they reply with

7. When anyone asks you how your semester is going

8. The one kid who is actually a genius and loves to say

9. Every time the professor, who answers their own questions, asks a question in class, every kid wants to know

10. When someone tries to take your food

11. The many times a professor has to repeat themselves because there's always the kid saying

12. The one thing that's constantly running through every college students mind

13. When one of your friends finally finds someone to make out with and they call you to tell you

14. Every time midterms or finals come around, this is heard everywhere on campus

15. When you get mad because your friend is getting too pushy trying to make sure that you're okay and they scream

16. A constant thing to be said at any point in your college career

17. When you realize you don't want to go out anywhere because

18. Every time someone tries to get you to join a club you don't want to join

19. Heard at every social event the college holds

20. And whenever you have to do anything by yourself, you're reminded that

So sometimes college is hard. Thankfully, Parks and Rec can perfectly describe your situation and your feelings towards every possible event in college.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
